Press wines showed a similar trend (data not shown). The percentage of color from small polymeric pigments increased during the cold soak period, remained or declined during the first five days of fermentation for both treatments, then increased slightly (Figure VII). The percentage of color from large polymeric pigments increased during cold soak and fermentation for both pigeage and délestage treatments, and was slightly higher in the délestage wines at dejuicing (Figure VIII). Post-fermentation, free-run Cabernet Sauvignon délestage and pigeage wines demonstrated 34.6% compared to 43.5% color from monomeric pigments, 53.8% compared to 49.6% color from SPP and 11.6% compared to 6.9% color from LPP (Table IV), respectively. Following cold soak, total glycoside concentration was greater in the pigeage than délestage tanks by an average of 49% (Table V). Total glycosides increased during fermentation (cold soak to day10) for both treatments. By the completion of fermentation (day-10) and at dejuicing, total glycoside concentrations were similar in pigeage and délestage wines. Phenol-free glycosides were in higher concentrations in pigeage wines post-cold soak and at dejuicing. Discrimination sensory analysis of Cabernet Sauvignon délestage- and pigeageproduced wines indicated differences in aroma and flavor. The principal component analysis (PCA) for aroma indicated variation among treatment replicates that accounted for 59% of the variance (Figure IX). The first and second principal component analysis of flavor accounted for 63% of the variance (Figure X).
